Modern Natives: An Illustrated Collection of Reimagined Coast Salish Myths. This is the latest from Andrea Grant. We'll hear more about this absolutely wonderful new book, as well as some of her work in the world of graphic novels, including some which explore and tell of some Native American mythology, as well as a REALLY cool Edgar Allen Poe adaptation (to name just a couple). We also heard a bit about Minx, Andrea's superhero alter-ego which initially came to us in 4 issues but is now assembled into a single book. Minx works her way into the Modern Natives book as well. More at andreagrant.com.

Jonathan Karrant with The Joe Alterman Trio is an absolutely FANTASTIC release. On this edition of KVC-Arts, David Fleming speaks with Jonathan about the album, and we'll get a touch of the music as well. Blending jazz standards with tunes from jazz greats - which may or may not be a so called "standard." Tunes which you may associate with Nancy Wilson, Les McCann, Wes Montgomery... even Jerry Lewis! Mix these in with a couple pop megahits with a WONDERFUL jazz treatment (Your Song, Everybody's Talking, Don't Let Me be Lonely Tonight), and you have "Jonathan Karrant with The Joe Alterman Trio Live in Concert." This - and a sneak peak at his NEXT release, due out in September.

Jonathan Karrant joins David Fleming to spotlight his latest release, "Jonathan Karrant With The Joe Alterman Trio: LIVE IN CONCERT. Two tunes from "On and On" made it to this concert and it's really nice to see (and hear) the evolution OF these tunes. The others are tunes which are attention getters, just scanning the back of the disc. Some you may only know of as instrumentals... and Jonathan delivers FUN, fun takes! The first broadcast of this show happened to fall on Mother's Day, and we just HAPPEN to begin the program he released FOR Mother's Day!

Host Maya Gwynn speaks with Dr. Bridgette Peteet, Professor of Psychology at Loma Linda University School of Behavioral Health, and author of (dis)Honor Thy Mother: Daughterhood, Dysfunction, and Deliverance.

Chris Thayer speaks with David Fleming about several albums with a fair amount of crossover in style, feel and execution. All WELL worth getting - and highly advisable! There's a much more focused look (and listen) on the most recent. One Foot In the Grave, a 2026 release, kicks off hard and heavy with Dynamite. Other tracks you may recognize if you've been going to Chris Thayer and the TCB shows for any amount of time, as a few come from the past, but are given SUCH a wonderful treatment, and ALL worth a LOUD listen!We'll hear about the songs, the difference between the cd and the vinyl release, Chris's YouTube channel and more.
